You do get, if they accepted that deal, that would effectively be the end of Ukraine the moment Russia regroups for another attack. What country would accept a deal that effectively hands all power to their enemy. That isn't actually a deal, it's another act of aggression. Sure, it's not for us to decide. But you're even more delusional if you think Ukrainians want to hand additional power to Russia. It seems like you're accepting Russian propaganda as reality.

That is arguably a far far far far worse deal, asking a country to demilitarize after being attacked in a war of pure aggression and greed, by a country that couldn't give a shit about international law is insane. The only deal Ukraine should accept is all of their land back with unconditional surrender of the Russian military in every square inch of Ukrainian land.

Is there anything wrong with Nebula? Or is the issue that it acts more like a supplemental streaming service rather than a primary one? It seems like between peertube and nebula creators really could shift their user base to other systems if they worked together to bring attention to the matter as part of an organized campaign against Google.

This is an excellent article with a terrible title. ICE is still very much in operation, abusing Minnesota, putting people that have broken no laws on terrorist watch lists and arresting people without due process. We are winning, but we most certainly have not won. People need to stop prematurely declaring victory and put their foot on the gas.

You should, this guy's all over lemmy fawning over Hitler. He's a creep.

Good policy opens up protections to everyone. Poorly versed politicians frame things narrowly because their privileges make them blind to everyday life.

Possibly I got distracted by your sentence implying there is no reason to run a red, because it shows you really don't understand. I have multiple intersections on my morning commute where the safest time to cross the intersection is when I have a red light. Sometimes it's legal for me to run them, sometimes it isn't. That happens when intersections are designed for cars and not bicycles. If they were designed just as much for bikes, there would be a leading bike indicator at every intersection in America that has some type of bike infrastructure. You acted like that Anatole France quote wasn't relevant when it unequivocally is. If the safest thing for me to do is break the law, then the law is wrong.

It is perfectly legal in many places in the world to run a red light on a motorcycle or bicycle, provided you wait a reasonable amount of time. So your example is complicated. Simply because the magnetic strips that detects cars don't detect them. But if run a red light after waiting, I guarantee the average person will think I'm the same as the person that flys through the intersection without slowing down. In my experience the average car driver has no idea why bicycles make the decisions they make.

And it is perfectly reasonable to break rules, if breaking them is what is keeping me alive. I really could give a shit what the law is. I care about getting to work alive. And I will make decisions to that end first and the law second.

The lights often automatically changes to cyclists priority in many places in the Netherlands, and often provide underpasses to avoid conflict points in the first place. It is not a comparable situation. Traffic laws and infrastructure in the USA, for instance, are incredibly biased in favor of cars, so their comment is absolutely relevant.

When I bike in the USA often the safest time for me to cross an intersection is unrelated to whether I have a green light, but more related to if anyone else at the intersection does. The safest time for me to go is when no one else at the light has a green light, not when I do.

What he said was that holman was at least willing to talk (which is a low bar). Walz made no assurances that I am aware of. I agree with your second sentence either way though.

We would have elected Bernie with absolutely no support in Congress and he would have been out in 4 years, sadly.

they're all old and outdated tech.

You can put graphene os on the newest pixel if you really want. Imo, you shouldn't be giving Google the money anyway. Makes more sense to buy an older refurbished pixel from a trusted 3rd party. The newer phones are not really major increases in tech anymore anyway. I'm still rocking a pixel 6 pro and it feels functionally equivalent to the newer phones but it's 5 years old.
